Governor Grants Parole to Husband-Murderer
Submitted by Nightmist on Wed, 2002-04-17 22:21
This article on Fox News is--once again--proof that there are different standards for men and women in the justice system. Gov. Gray Davis has granted parole to Cheryl Sellers based on the parole board's findings that she "suffered from battered woman syndrome," the convenient illness which routinely absolves women of murder. Davis said a threat the man had made against Seller's daughter sparked the violence. His decision means Sellers will be released in September 2003, the date set by the board. One wonders if men would be given the same consideration.
